A policy? Really? Yours is no more a policy than two people on a bench with their special brew moaning about the state of the world

- 14 March 2013 20:30220421Brian, Peter and Paul, my Economy policies are not even up for debate here on the Forum, so I'm just stating facts as they are.
We know that you have vehemently opposed everything I ever campaigned for in Dover, and we'll just have to live with that.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/doverpast - 14 March 2013 23:14220454Ross, I do believe in being a member.
So I joined English Heritage, and enrolled my mother too. This enables me to go at will to Dover Castle, and to the Church there, and leave contributions for its upkeep. It's voluntary and passionate.
As for my personal work life. which Brian questioned previously, I make ends meet within my limits and the possibilities which are present, and don't think it should be brought up in connection with my expressing Economy policies, as every citizen should have the right to express their views concerning the economy of their own country.
And as for Paul, well Paul, you know yourself that five people presented 500 signatures for a cause that many Dovorians passionately believe in.
And having received an official mention in the Government's decision not to privatise the Port of Dover is something for me to feel honoured, not ashamed of.
However, I always continue along the road and never give up, and there are many people out there, and many who believe a change is necessary, who do not credit the present economic and political situation with merits (see thread title), and there is no law preventing me making my proposals.
And perhaps they've been made known to more people than you'd care to believe, Paul.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

Alexander is like myself an armchair and computer protester, the only difference between us is that I am a disabled 70 year old.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 15 March 2013 09:33220481not actually true about alex being an armchair protester.
- 15 March 2013 09:51220488The Prime Minister knows this is not true what Jan and others write about me in reference to Community dedication.
The Prime Minister is the highest authority in the Government who I wrote to on this issue.
So giving a distorted and false representation of me on a public forum will only lead to me proving the opposite.
Whatever I try to achieve in Dover is always categorically opposed.
You made a principal of doing so.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

Rather like the prison 'issue' - I am sure the town shot itself in the foot, rather than the scaremongering it would have actually have created jobs and redeveloped a decaying part of the town....Find me on Facebook Dover History Pages Group or Flickr

15 March 2013 20:16220578Pau; i agreed with you up to the prisonALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 15 March 2013 20:26220580an open prison here would have been a disaster they attract pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers, also people associate these institutions with white collar criminals which is untrue - the real nasties are sent there towards the end of their sentence for rehabilitation purposes and they can come and go easily.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/doverpast - 15 March 2013 22:17220588Don't know anything about a prison issue, and am sure it's got nothing to do with preserving Farthingloe and Western Heights from housing developments.
Many more people would have signed that petition, had it been longer than 2 hours.
But it goes to show that if some present a cause that the People are interested in and are prepared to sign, then they could also attract many to other common causes.
It all started with Western Heights, and no-one can stop me from going further.
Being able to convince people with good argumentation is nothing to be ashamed of.
I mean, I've got my whole life in front of me, have prepared my case, am full of enthusiasm for Dover in Kent, from where I descend, and know how to attract common consent.
I'll just keep banging on, driving my Ford Anglia.
